Trump Says The Economy Is an A+++++, 3% of Americans Agree

[citygator]

Sure thing Skippy, moving the goal posts doesn't change the fact you loons have been crying wolf for almost a year. Yet your claims do not match reality. You doom cryers have no credibility.

You are moving the goal posts genius. Read the room. The question is in the ******* OP. Trump rates the economy an A+++++ but since you know that is bullshit you want to change the goal to "we arent in a depression".

Someone bring me the smart posters.

I know you think you said something but you didn’t. Explain if you can

Biden's open borders let in 12,000,000 illegals.
Biden gave many of them free food and free housing.
That raised prices for the rest of us by the Law of Supply & Demand.
As Trump deports illegals, now net +10m since 2m were deported, prices should start coming down over time.

 

[Godboy]

The revisions were done under Biden. If they were fake then Trump would have had to revise them with different people and different data. How dumb are you? Biden put out data throughout covid recovery without any issues.

Also they aren’t additive. You have to average them. If I estimate the temperature is 70 degrees every month and it was 71 degrees I am not off 12 degrees. I am off 1 degree.

Sometimes its like trying to communicate to children around here.

The massive revisions came AFTER Trump won.

Final Revision (September 2025): A later preliminary report indicated the overstatement for a slightly different time period (12 months through March 2025) was even larger, at an estimated 911,000 jobs.

How does a hypocritical OP get to ignore the months of people like yourself claiming the economy would have or should have collapsed by now? By your own standards Trump's economy has already exceeded your doom and gloom predictions. Now you want it both ways? Not happening. Take some responsibility for your predictions and lies.

How many migrants have crossed the US border illegally?

Since January 2021, when Joe Biden came to office, there have been more than 10 million encounters - about 8 million came over the southwest land border with Mexico.

Add in an estimated 2 million "got-aways" and you get about 12 million illegals entering under Biden.

It's very possible that, by now, people realize that Trump was full of shit. There was never any chance he was going to actually lower prices, but they believed him.

The Trumpsters don't even know what caused the inflation, so you'd expect them to believe he could just wave his magic wand.

Of course we know what causes inflation. Government spending and government printing of money. Nothing else. This is basic economics. How many times will I have to school leftwingers on this?

Senate Leader John Thune Says GAO Audit Found Obamacare Handed Out Subsidies to 90% of Completely Fake Accounts | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hᴏft

Senate Republican Leader John Thune took to the Senate floor with a bombshell revelation: a brand-new Government Accountability Office (GAO) audit shows that Obamacare’s subsidy system is so riddled with loopholes that 90% of GAO’s fake, fictitious identities were approved for taxpayer-funded...

You can exvlaim fraud to the hills. But working honest folk who will struggle without help wont agree.

It's going to take some time to repair all the damage the ASSHOLE DEMOCRATS did.

I am so SORRY that you struggled and lived thru HELL for 4 years.

Meanwhile, my life remained stable, actually increased my net wealth, in the years since the Great Obama was elected POTUS.
You know, after that (R) destroyed the economy, and the Great Obama saved the Nation that Bush destroyed.

Glad to see you are finally 'recovering' with the effects of the trump tariffs causing higher prices.

 

[Winco]

Really, NOTHING else.

Several factors can drive inflation, and they often overlap. Economists typically group the causes into a few major categories:

1. Demand-Pull Inflation​

This occurs when overall demand in the economy exceeds supply. Common drivers:

• Strong consumer spending
• Government stimulus or increased public spending
• Low interest rates that encourage borrowing
• Booming exports

Think of too many dollars chasing too few goods.

---

2. Cost-Push Inflation​

This happens when the cost of producing goods and services rises, and businesses pass those costs along to consumers. Key causes:

• Rising wages
• Increased prices of raw materials (oil, metals, food commodities)
• Supply chain disruptions
• Higher taxes or regulatory costs

---

3. Built-In / Wage–Price Spiral​

Inflation can become self-perpetuating:

• Workers expect higher prices → demand higher wages
• Businesses pay higher wages → raise prices
• Cycle continues

This often reflects inflation expectations becoming embedded in the economy.

---

4. Monetary Inflation​

When the money supply grows faster than the economy's ability to produce goods and services, prices tend to rise. Causes:

• Central banks injecting liquidity
• Excessive government borrowing financed by money creation

---

5. Supply Shocks​

Sudden events that reduce supply can sharply increase prices:

• Natural disasters
• Geopolitical conflicts
• Pandemic-related shutdowns
• Energy shortages

---

6. Exchange Rate Depreciation​

If a country’s currency weakens, imports become more expensive, raising prices for consumers and businesses.

---

7. Inflation Expectations​

If businesses and consumers expect inflation, they adjust prices and wages accordingly, making inflation more likely.

My investments are up 6 figures this year. I'm making more money professionally than ever. Gas is at its lowest level in years. Inflation is 3% as we still recover from Biden's mess....but not bad.


You're collecting too much welfare, buddy. You should get a job.

It’s useless. Democrat voters are mindless sheep.

 

[Meister]

Compared to when we had the Biden shortages, the economy is off the charts. Prices of every thing are coming down. Of course democrats are going to lie. It's all they have left.

I didn't see the uproar from these same liberals when Biden's inflation was at 9%.

One thing that needs to be taken into consideration, under Biden inflation rose around 20-25% in
his four years. That is not going to come down, that is the base line for ALL future inflationary numbers.
Prices will never fall back to the pre Biden years.

If your investments are actually up 6 figures this year (Good for you),
then what were your investments up during the 4 years under biden?

I dare you to answer honestly.

COVID....a trump failure which lingered for years.
OPEC+ Agreement......a Failed 2 year deal where foreigners tricked trump into decreasing oil production for 2 FULL years. Sweet Deal huh? Answer that Meister

Your numbers are misleading. What you don’t understand is that an “encounter” does not mean someone who is released into the country.

From Factcheck:
The figures used by Haley, DeSantis and Cotton — 8 million or 10 million — are totals of all migrant encounters at the border plus gotaways, and, in Cotton’s case, encounters at the northern border, coastal borders and airports. Cotton’s press secretary, Patrick McCann, told us that those figures showed the senator was correct to say that number “crossed into the country.” But these claims ignore that DHS statistics show 2.8 million of the encounters at the southern border alone resulted in a removal or expulsion directly from CBP custody, and all of the rest of the migrants encountered are not simply released.

Most of those removals – nearly 2.5 million — were immediate expulsions under Title 42.

Total DHS repatriations through October amounted to 3.7 million, a figure that includes the 2.8 million removals directly from CBP, as well as removals by ICE. CBP operates at the border – at ports of entry and between them — while ICE “is responsible for interior enforcement and for detention and removal operations,” DHS explains.

“The majority of all individuals encountered at the southwest border over the past three years have been removed, returned, or expelled,” a DHS official told us. The total DHS repatriations of 3.7 million would support that. The figure is 57% of the 6.5 million total encounters. The one caveat is that the total repatriations could include some migrants who were apprehended crossing the border some time ago and later were arrested and removed by ICE.

Breaking Down the Immigration Figures - FactCheck.org

Encounters on the southern border of those trying to enter the U.S. without authorization have gone up significantly under President Joe Biden. Government statistics show that in the initial processing of millions of encounters, 2.5 million people have been released into the U.S. and 2.8 million...

They've been conditioned to believe that quoting smaller data points and ignoring everything else constitutes macroeconomic analysis.

There is no communicating with that.

^^^ supported democrats releasing oil from the reserves to help win an election

Red herring fallacy, failed attempt to deflect.

Trump is in fact an authoritarian despot, his ridiculous lies about the economy is further proof of that.
